Portrait Tips - Seniors, here is the scoop!

Clothing:
Bring a variety of outfits that fit the real you. Avoid the following: Clothing that are too tight or extremely loose fitting; Clothes with words, stripes, and loud patterns. Dress from head-to-toe and don't forget to bring accessories! But it is most important to have fun with your outfits!

Hair:
Style your hair in a way that best represents YOU! If you plan on getting a haircut, try to schedule it a couple of weeks out so that you have time to manage any dislikes. Keep in mind that a cut may reveal untanned skin during the summer. We also recomment the use of hairspray to tame loose ends that may catch light and reflect in a portrait.

Makeup:
Make-up should be worn no heavier than you would for an evening out. Even if you don't normally wear make-up, we suggest a light foundation or powder to reduce the shine and even-out skin tones. Powder is great for even guys to use, and yes we promise no one will ever be able to tell you're wearing it! Heavier make-up applied near the end of your portrait session is fun for a dramatic black & white.

Grooming:
Trim, file, and remove old polish from your nails. Lather on lotion to avoid dry looking, patchy skin.

Glasses:
To avoid a reflective glare from your eyeglasses, opt to wear contact lenses instead or ask your optometrist about borrowing an empty pair of frames that match your style.

Bring a friend:
Bring a friend to make the experience more fun. They can help with your stuff, make sure you look your best and even jump in some of your images!

The most important thing is that you have FUN!
